For Pastors and Churches
Church Mental Health Kit
Quick Answer
A church mental health kit helps leaders listen well, avoid shame, refer wisely, and follow up consistently. It does not turn the church into a clinic. It gives the church a clearer doorway for care.
What to include
Start with a one-page safety note, a referral guide, what to say and what not to say cards, a follow-up checklist, support numbers, and a short explanation of what the church can and cannot provide.
Use the kit before the hard conversation
A church should decide ahead of time how leaders will handle referral, therapy questions, medication questions, confidentiality, and urgent support needs.
Keep it low-capacity
Hurting people may not be able to read long documents. Give them one page, one next step, and one trusted person to contact.

Build a safer care pathway
A church does not have to become a clinic to become safer. It can listen, refer, follow up, and reduce shame.
